SLIGHTLY WARNER TOMORROW, BUT NO RETURN OF
EXCESSIVE HEAT.
The prediction OF the weather bureau Of cooler
weather Saturday night was fulfilled, to the great
relief and qualification OF the people in this Sec
tion OF the country who had been sweltertng week
after week The prediction of showers along the
Atlantic coast Saturday was also verified. The
change In the weather after the shower Saturday
afternoon was SO marked that most people thought
that Washington received the full benefit Of The
cool wave from the West Lieut. Dunwoody, who
Is the Indications Ocer for August, said to STAR
reporter to-day, however, that the change was no
greater than anticipated. The falltn temperature
was hardly 10 degrees, but the absence Of exces-
Sive humidity OF the atmosphere which had be-
come almost chronic was accountable for q good
deal OF the relief. The thermometer this morning
registered 81 degrees exactly the same as yester-
day morning. While slightly warmer weather Is
predicted for the next twenty hours there is
no fear OF an immediate return to the recent blaz-
ing, blistering heat. A rise OF q few degrees Will
be Oearable.

A dispatch TO the New York Sun from New.
burgh, August :, says: The talk OF the hour st
West Point is he simultaneous departure OF Lieut..
Francis j. A. Darr, an ofhcer or the post and tho
wife and child OF Lieut.. John X. Totten, an In
structor In the department OF modern languages
Lieut.. Darr is an assistant Instructor or tactics
and was commanding a company OF cadets He
was born In New York, and appointed 4 cadet
Ia 1880. and was appointed TO the I2th infantry.
His quarters at the post were In the cadet bar
racks. He Is short In stature, is bright and fair
looking. and has smooth face. His father was =
general OF volunteers, and is now In California
Totten has been at the Military Academy ~ an
Instructor since 1855 He was born In Florida,
and appointed O cadet from Nebraska In 1874. He
graduated In 1873. HIS quarters have been since
here In the south end of the old cadet hospital,
which Is now used for drilling purposes. Lieut..

the children are dead, and the third Is ne little
boy about one year old Mrs Totten Is daughter
OF Lawyer John ID. Townsend OF New York Tot
tens brother is aso ar Army o1cer, and bis father
is an inspector-general Ia the Army.
The gossip at West Point about Mrs Totten
and Lieut.. Darr seems TO be based upon the iacG
that they have been socially on very friendly
terms; that they lett West Point upon the same
tram, and that Lieut.. Darr has suddenly resigned
from the Army. The ladyls husband is now alb
sent on his vacation. IL appears that there has
been the closest friendship between the two lieu
tenants. Lieut.. barr visited his brother officers
quarters whenever ne liked Up 70 few days ago
nothing was thought oI this fact. About month
ago Lieut. Totten vent away on o leave OF absence.
IL is said he went 70 New London, Conn, 10 visit
friends. After his departure his child became
sick, and the post surgeon, Dr. Smith, recommended
that Mrs. Totten take the baby away Tor q change
or air. She began making preparations TO 90, and
told her servants that she intended 10 visit iencs
named Trustlow. Where these friends reside could
not be aSceTtained to-day.
On sunday afternoon last Mrs. Totten Instructed
her servant TO order carriage from Denton's llv-
cry stable TO take herself ana child 70 the after
noon West Shore train south. This was done, and
a Highland Falls truckman removed her baggage,
which included baby carriage. Lieut.. barr did
not ride TO the depot with Mrs. Totten- He walked
down the hill, but when at the depot attended 10
tile checking or the baggage The agent Is repre-
sented as Wanting 70 marx the Carriage with Lieut.
Darr's name, bUc that gentleman demurred. Ifcks
cts were purchased for New York, and Darr and
MIS-. Totten have not been seen at West Point
since. Lieut.. barr offered his resignation TO the
War Department through the post adJutant lew
days before his departure.
